This is one of my family’s favourite recipes. The preparation time on this one isn’t quick, so I always choose to prepare on the weekend, rather than a week night. And I now like to make the filling in double quantity and freeze the extra portion for a quick meal on a week day. This recipe lends itself really well…

Christmas is coming II
Vegan Christmas Cake – the baking I wanted to do this yesterday but, you know, life gets in the way sometimes. I used my mixer to gently combine all the margarine and sugary stuff then stirred in the soaked fruit and dry ingredients with a wooden spoon before adding the soya milk, red wine vinegar…

Christmas is coming I
Vegan Christmas Cake – the soaking I love a Christmas cake and it’s that time of year so I needed to find a recipe that’s vegan friendly, meaning my daughter can enjoy it too. I found this one from the Domestic Gothess site and it looks promising so I’m giving it a go. I hope…
Chicken with tomato and horseradish mustard – vegan alt in notes
Both the tomatoes and basil are sweet flavours so the horseradish and rocket zing balances them well. You’ll notice I cook the chicken separately from the sauce and I use soya yoghurt rather than dairy. This is so I can add a non-meat protein such as tofu or soya chunks for my vegan daughter, without…

Serves: 6 Ingredients 800g chopped tomatoes, tinned 600g mixed beans, tinned and drained 500g chicken breast,…
